Patient taken to hospital after car overturned in M25 crash

Crews from four Herts Fire and Rescue engines “found one car on its roof” after being called to the M25 anticlockwise, between junctions 22 and 21A, at around 8.40am this morning (June 19).

Although a rescue support unit was sent to the scene, no one was trapped and so firefighters provided "trauma care" until the ambulance arrived.
